I’m renaming my car Pac-Man because FSD can’t resist chomping on every pothole

Im also ever so slightly concerned that there will be more interruptions as I drive through wooded areas due to the lack of beam angle to offset the tree coverage.
Replying to @Starlink
My one concern is the beam angle being cut in half. Im assuming due to satellite density increases this isn't an issue?

Instantly ordered the new Starlink Mini 2. The Mini 1 has been a gamechanger for work even with needed a plug. Can't wait to see how much farther a battery powered version can be pushed

Tesla is moving away from selling vehicles to people and towards selling autonomy as a subscription. I thought he made this clear when he stopped developing the cheaper new models (not the 3/y variants)
Replying to @elonmusk @marhlder
A lot of people really want large Tesla vehicles like the Cybertruck or an SUV based on the same platform. Is Tesla going to make vehicles for those people?

This is unacceptable, I have barely done anything tonight and I'm at 16% usage? This is a Grok Heavy subscription for $300mo, that reset an hour ago. This product just went from amazing to unusable.

Then make a subscription that is proportional to the cost instead of cutting everyone's use, this isn't right.
Replying to @DogecoinNorway
The cost of serving Grok Bot was unsustainably high relative to revenue

There are plenty of reports of them not producing additional models that they have designed. I really dont see the product line expanding in the near future
There’s a very low likelihood of this happening, but I would love for Tesla to take the Roadster platform and build a modern Model S & X with 48 volt / 800 volt / steer by wire / brake by wire / 4680 structural pack etc

To be clear, I dont disagree at all with the sentiment. But there are thousands of extremely talented people working alongside him, to help drag humanity into the future
Replying to @SawyerMerritt
The real question is how can one man be single-handedly dragging our entire civilization so far forward? Out of 8 billion people, why is nobody else even in the same league?

Thank you on behalf of the amazing people of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink and Boring Company, without whom anything I have done would have been impossible

Other than this hiccup, which @spacexai refund me... yes I know its in the T&C's but its very easy to mess up... @bot has been mind blowing to say the least. It has completed countless hours of tedious work in fractions of the time. I'm still struggling to wrap my head around it
Replying to @benjitaylor @bot
How about updating the Business Teams subscriptions to include Bot.

Less robotaxis on the road = more crashes. Its that simple
Replying to @niccruzpatane
I dont get why this is so exciting. Growing at 10% per week onwards it will still take Tesla a year of growth to just match what Waymo is doing for daily miles today. This is still orders of magnitude under what Tesla has previously stated. Releasing their network as fast as possible is a much better to gather more data and generally make things safer, instead of this impossibly slow rollout. Accidents will happen, and Tesla is allowing more accidents to happen by slowing down the rollout, since FSD is already generally safer per mile than the average driver.

I had 3 FSD disengagements solely because the car cant figure out the speed limit. Each a 50mph zone, stuck at 35mph and had to manually override with the accelerator. I sure hope FSD V15 fixes this once and for all. Other than that a very comfortable and relaxing 225 mile ride.

This robotaxi roll out has me suspicious. Its right before earnings, just like last time. Im really hoping the ramp is coming this time around

At this rate gen 8 will be the size of a cell phone.... oh wait
SpaceX has just officially unveiled its next-generation @Starlink V5 terminal, featuring a much smaller lighter design. • Speeds up to 375+ Mbps • 50% more power efficient than V4 (V5 has an avg power consumption of just 35-50W) • 35% smaller dish than V4 • Dish weight: 2.4 lb (62% lighter than the V4) • 110° field of view (same as V4) • Software-assisted manual orientation (same as V4) • IP67 Type 4 weather resistance (same as V4) • Operational wind resistance up to 165 mph (vs 60 mph+ rated for V4) • Snow melt capability up to 40 mm/hour (1.6 in/hour) (same as V4) • Operating temperature: -30°C to 50°C (-22°F to 122°F) (same as V4) • LED status indicator integrated into the dish (V4's primary status indicator is on the router) • Includes Router Mini with Wi-Fi 6 • Dual-band 2×2 MU-MIMO • Two 1 Gbps RJ45 Ethernet ports • Wi-Fi coverage up to 2,200 sq ft • Supports up to 235 connected devices • Mesh compatible with Starlink Gen 2 Router, Gen 3 Router, Router Mini, and Starlink Mini • Includes a 15 m (49.2 ft) Starlink cable • Includes a 2 m (6.6 ft) Ethernet cable • Includes a 1.5 m (4.9 ft) power cable • Includes a pipe adapter, power supply, Router Mini stand, and kickstand.

Woah, 3 critical interventions now on this drive. I think Ill wait for the next version before using it again. xitter.twitterapi.xyz/i/status/2067972220610…
Yeah, FSD ain't there yet for the country side. Couldn't even overtake a tractor going 30 in a 55 without screwing it up and still refuses to learn the speed limits. I was hoping for better results after seeing all the good reviews.

FSD 14.3.4s ride is surprisingly comfortable but it still cant read signs. Turned right on red when not allowed and thinks the speed limit is 35 even though I passed 3 signs that said 45 with no way to override. The widening gap between competence and mistakes is becoming increasingly jarring

Now that its sold out, I definitely regret not grabbing the Model S Signature Edition. In terms of Automotive History it will stand out as industry changing.

I have been waiting for this for so long for our commercial clients. Please have ~30kwh per module
Powerwall 3P is coming soon to Germany Sign up to receive updates about our new three-phase energy storage system

Very compelling product. I'd like to see a side by side spec sheet of this vs the Qcell M2
NEWS: Tesla has officially unveiled its new solar panel and solar panel mount. Solar panel: • All-black finish • Sits closer to the roof • 420W (up from 410W) • Uses same cascading cell technology as our Solar Roof cells to create 18 power zones (3x more than conventional panels). This reduces energy loss in shaded conditions & produces more energy. • Dimensions 71.1” x 44.7” x 1.57” (including frame). 3" shorter and 3" less wide than previous Tesla solar panel • Module efficiency: 20.5% • Weight: 49lbs Panel Mount: • 33% faster installation by using a groove-based frame system for streamlined assembly (eliminating traditional rails & clamps) • Up to 15% fewer roof penetrations while preserving structural integrity & lowering costs • Low-profile finish that is universally compatible with shingle, tile, metal & flat roofs
